If you’ve already had an asbestos survey conducted, you should have crucial information on hand such as a Material Hazard Assessment, which provides a clear indication of how liable an asbestos containing material (ACM) is to discharging airborne fibres.
It is then down to the duty holder to calculate the specific danger that each asbestos containing material (ACM) poses based on the level of occupation in the area where it was discovered, and then to produce an Asbestos Management Plan.
As part of the proceeding management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), continual surveillance post asbestos survey is necessary at regular intervals. Any ACM identified or probable ACM will need to be inspected periodically to ensure that it has not worsened or sustained damaged. As a minimum, ACMs should be checked every six to twelve months.
Asbestos analysis must form part of every asbestos inspection survey, no matter what type of building is concerned.
All dubious materials should be tested by a fully qualified asbestos surveyor, and then carefully discarded to be taken away for analysis using microscopy techniques at a UKAS accredited laboratory.
Under normal circumstances, asbestos test results are generally ready for review within 48 hours with a certificate of analysis outlining the types of asbestos found within the sample material tested.
